You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.

The table of data we'll work with.
Add a data source to your app, linked to the Billionaires table in the Excel workbook shown at the top of this page.

For this you'll need to use the Sort, Distinct and Filter functions.
